ABC Kiddie Kampus East Mountain

1150 East Mountain Dr. Wilkes-Barre, PA 18702
love this center the staff is wonderful and really take the time to help to work with the children ❤️ they welcomed us in from the moment we walked in the door
We couldn’t be happier with our experience at ABC Kiddie Kampus Old Forge! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and reassured. The staff is incredibly caring, attentive, and professional—they treat every child like their own. Our child has grown so much socially and developmentally since starting here. We love getting daily updates and photos, and it's clear the kids are always engaged in fun, educational activities. The facility is clean, safe, and filled with warmth. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a nurturing, reliable place for their little one!
My daughter absolutely loves it here!!! From her friends, to her teachers, to all of the fun activities she gets to do!!!
This daycare has beyond met my expectations! It is such a nurturing environment and open communication between staff and parents is wonderful they really look out for your kids and want the best for them. I have noticed the time and effort they put into making sure my boys have engaging activities and they make sure every child who enters feels welcome and like one big family. The staff and director have been absolutely wonderful with transitioning my youngest boy into daycare and they also reassure me that the children’s safety is always the first priority. We love ABC Kiddie Kampus old forge!!
Love this center. The staff are wonderful and really take the time to learn about the students wants and needs.My child has an iep and they make sure my child needs are met and the cooks are wonderful to accommodate my kids, food intolerance.
BEST DAYCARE EVER. This is a place you can send your child. From the first time I walked into ABC they treated my family like their family. I was very nervous sending my child off to daycare because of how young he was and what would I miss in his life all the mom questions ran through my mind. And I am so grateful that I have had these amazing people that have helped me not miss anything and has taught my son so much. So all my mom questions and worries were always answered at ABC. My son is loved so much I cant ask for a better feeling everyday. Thanks to the wonderful and loving staff at ABC.
we have the best preschool/daycare! my daughter wakes up everyday excited to go to school. she has made many friends and absolutely adores her teachers... staff cares about the kids in and out of school. we were lucky to be enrolled in 2 of the 3 centers as an infant in Pittston and now Old Forge bc that's where we reside and we had the best experiences at both locations
This is our second daycare. The first one was fine, but ABC really goes above and beyond for their families. Our daughter started out in the infant room and has since grown into the young toddler room. The staff is knowledgeable and kind, and really seem to enjoy their work. They listen to our concerns and always take the time to talk to us at drop off and pick up. The management team is fantastic about notifying us of any issues in a timely, but non-alarmist fashion. Nobody can care for our child like we can, but they come pretty close!
My daughter has had amazing experience with preschool in the Pittston location for her first year. She has had the opportunity to go to the Old Forge location this year for her 2nd year of preschool which is where we reside. She has an amazing preschool experience at both locations and she has even been in before and after daycare occasionally. They are absolutely wonderful staff. I have no complaints and have never experienced any issues. I would recommend this daycare/preschool to anyone looking.
